Hey crew,
4 days ago I got a 2 month old Orange-Winged Amazon. I need some advice from those of you who have already had them and who already have them.
I'm interested in the following thing. Since I let him out today for the second time where he tried to fly (he is a little curled up) and where he flew without orientation - he got stuck on the screen, flew to the top of the wall, hit the wall, he was literally disoriented, probably because his new environment and he hasn't managed to meet everyone yet. It doesn't really want to land on your hand when it flies around the apartment so frantically. He still hasn't managed to go to the other part of the room, which is huge, but which has one huge window, so I'm afraid he'll hit that window (will it hurt him if he bangs on the window a little? He definitely needs to learn that windows are an obstacle) . When he was flying frantically, he landed right next to a small window and stood on the window ledge where he looked outside, but he didn't even try to fly away through that glass.
I teach him to come and stand on my hand on command, which I succeed in, I hold his favorite white seed in my hand and for now he flies to my hand, it will probably take a little time to figure it out and immediately instead of flying frantically he comes to one of the places in it fits, for example, a couch, an armchair or something, and not to be hung on a screen...
Can you give me some tips on how to explain to him that windows are obstacles. I'm afraid right now to get him out of what he did, honestly, I don't want him to get hurt or anything like that.
For now, he eats seeds and doesn't want to be near pellets, which I'm honestly not happy about, but here, we'll wait until he starts eating pellets. Today I offered him his seed mixture and then during the day I put the crushed pellets and I will do that until he takes it and eats it, because he takes the pellet but throws it out of his mouth.
I should also add that it is still very slow, it flies slowly and everything else works very slowly. I hope he will be lively soon
